One of Fuerteventura’s major attractions is its weather. Conditions are pleasant throughout the year, meaning lots of sunshine and very little rain. Average daily temperatures in January, the coolest month, range from around 59°F to 69°F. In August, the hottest month, they range from around 71°F to 82°F. The cooling effect of wind from the Atlantic Ocean prevents the island from becoming uncomfortably hot due to its proximity to the North African coast and scorching hot winds blowing from the Sahara Desert. The Atlantic winds also make it a great destination for surfers and winsurfers. With our first-rate flight and hotel deals, you can select a package holiday to Fuerteventura and enjoy the superb weather of the island day after day.

Atlantic seafood at its finest and freshest is readily available in Fuerteventura’s fine restaurants, and it really is delicious. For something more exotic, try majorero, a very tasty goat’s milk cheese supplied courtesy of the island’s large population of goats. Fuerteventura is the originator of this delicacy, which is prized all over Spain, and there’s even a majorero museum in the centre of the island. Papas arrugadas is another local food. It’s a dish of wrinkled potatoes, boiled and served with chilli and garlic sauce. Many visitors, like the locals, love it; others find it more of an acquired taste. Of course, you can always find more familiar international foods, but tasting and testing the local cuisine is an adventure in itself and a highly recommended part of the fantastic Fuerteventura experience.
